Q: Who is AI Tinkers for and who is it not for?

A: We’re not “AI Enthusiasts”, we are AI Tinkerers. We are highly technical, active builders coming together to share our technical innovations, explorations and learnings. You can think of us as a “homebrew computing club of AI” and not a generalist AI networking group or “demo day” type of forum. There are many meetups related to the tech industry, startups and even AI that veer to the business networking side, but what makes AI Tinkerers different and special is our focus on curation to active builders (only).

Our gatherings are not suitable for those looking to enter the field, individuals seeking to market their services like SaaS sales, consulting or recruiting, angel investors aiming to connect with prospective founders, or professionals looking for early stage clients, etc.

If you attend AI Tinkerers, it is because you’re actively tinkering on LLMs and generative AI and you’ve built something you’re eager to share with other like-minded builders.

We maintain that cultivating a concentrated group of practitioners helps to establish a climate of trust, transparency and cooperation. Such an environment is which essential for driving meaningful progress in the realm of AI-powered applications.

The core essence of AI Tinkerers lies in active collaboration surrounding early-stage discovery and innovation, which requires a high degree of experimentation, vulnerability, openness to sharing challenges and learnings, and collaboration among individuals with a shared level of expertise. This unique environment allows us to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI and LLMs while maintaining a strong sense of camaraderie and mutual support.
